NEXT Monday, 14Lh, is st. Valentines
day. Valentine was a presbyter of the
church who suffered martyrdon under
the Emperor Clsudius. about 172O.
1T is a ceremony" says Bourne, "nev-
er omitted among the vulgar to draw
lots, which they term Valentine, on the
eve before Valentine Day. The names
of select number of one sex are, by an
equal number of the other, put into
some vessel; and after that, every one
draws name which for the present is
called their Valentine. and is looked up
on as good omen of their being man
and wife afterwards" He adds there is
a rural tradition that on this day every
bird chooses its mate, and concludes
that perhaps the youthful part of the
world hath first practiced this custom, SO
common at this season.

IT was discovered few days ago
that the carp in The pond upon the farm
OF Silas shook, Youngstown, were dead
upon the surface OF the water, under
tie ice. The pond had no stream rum
ming through it, and has been covered
with thick coating of ice since early
in winter. 1t is believed that the fish
perished for lack of BratiOn of the water.
Quite a number of the carp weighed
four and five pounds each, while hun
dreds of them were of all sizes, from
couple of inches to four and five inch
es long. Have any of our numerous
carp raisers experienced any trouble ?

IT is very unsafe to paper a room, as
is too often done. over another paper.
Sometimes several layers are placed on
the walls. These layers, together with
the paste, become breeders of disease.
The only proper way, when the paper
needs renewing, is to remove the old
paper entirely and clean the wall. For
sleeping rooms it is better to have no
paper at all.-BOston Budget.
